Before purchasing this keyboard, I used the Apple Magic keyboard and trackpad. Unfortunately, due to the switch to Windows, I didn't get that set to work as well on Windows as it did on MacOS. So there had to be a replacement...
My goal was to get almost the same user experience from Apple's Magic Trackpad on the new product. I knew that was going to be difficult, so I ordered four types of keyboards from Coolblue to be sure of the best buy.
I have ordered the following products for this:
- Trust Veza Wireless Keyboard with Touchpad QWERTY
- Microsoft All-in-One Media Keyboard QWERTY
- Logitech K830 Wireless Touch Keyboard QWERTY
- Logitech K400 Plus Wireless Touch Black QWERTY
-Microsoft All-in-One Media Keyboard QWERTY-
First, I unpacked the Microsoft keyboard. At first I got a good feeling. Everything felt sturdy and worked right out of the box. The advantage of the touchpad is that you can press the touchpad anywhere. On the other hand, the touchpad feels very stiff. The keys of the keyboard give little feedback, this can cause you to be unsure about registering the keystroke.
-Trust Veza Wireless Keyboard with Touchpad QWERTY-
The Trust Veza was the cheapest keyboard for sale on Coolblue, which had a touchpad. Unfortunately, this soon became apparent. Where all keyboards batteries were included, you have to provide yourself with two AAA batteries. The keys are very small and feel very cheap. The touchpad works, but that's about it. For example, you always have to press the big left mouse button instead of pressing the touchpad. I do not recommend this keyboard. Add a few bucks and you'll be much better off with a Microsoft or Logitech keyboard.
-Logitech K830 Wireless Touch Keyboard QWERTY-
Where the Trust Veza is the cheapest, Logitech's K830 has the highest price tag. But is the keyboard worth it? Just to get straight to the point. NEW. The keyboard feels very nice and robust in the hand. The touchpad is also very good. But these points are not worth more than €50.
-Logitech K400 Plus Wireless Touch Black QWERTY-
The k400 Plus was the last in the test. This keyboard performs extremely well for its price. The K830 certainly feels more robust and has keyboard lighting, but you don't miss this with the K400 Plus. The keyboard is not too small and types well. The touchpad also feels very nice. The price/performance is excellent! If you don't need keyboard lighting, choose the K400 Plus.
My preference ultimately went to the Logitech K400 Plus Wireless Touch.
